It also made for a late evening. I knew it was getting late by the time our game ended, but it still came as a surprise that it was already ten o'clock (well past children's bedtimes). The light here certainly is deceiving. Still, it shows how much fun we were having that time could pass so quickly unnoticed.
The puppies were also a huge hit. Both were quite active and, with the exception of a couple of puppy puddles, well behaved. They were largely receptive to the attention that they received and were playing more than they have up until now, another sign that they too are growing quickly.
It was a good day, and I look forward to similar experiences in the future.
